Gunduz shared that being a voice-over artist for a video game isn’t just about saying a line with emotions. And so it's really just a lot of imagination and, and really, um, bringing everything you have to that character on the mo-cap floor and just hoping it translates,” Nisa Gunduz emphasized. The camera angle might be covering their eyes. And sometimes you can't even see their eyes cause. And then you have to act on top of that to people who are in the same position as you also in full-body suits and lights. “You really have to use all the imagination you can to create the world around you to be in that world. There's just this whole learning curve that you kind of have to go through for motion capture acting, and you really have to bring your creativity to the forefront.”Īlso Read: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Takes The Ubisoft Franchise Into A Whole New World Now it's like, when I see someone do that, I'm like, oh no, I'm like, no, no, you can't do that.
